completed build

So years ago, in a galaxy far far away, I owned two cafés and a coffee roasting business. So when I saw this how could I not build it! By the way, it was on sale….even better. Looks like a fun build. So I’m going to pull a shot of espresso and start the build. BMT

Hello guys! this is my first post here and what better way to start than to share the buiding progress of my Palamos fishing boat over the past couple weeks. Or should I say years? Well, I was gifted this set in 2019 and spent around 10 hours doing the internal structure but then life got in...

Hello people, I'm introducing my self after some week of 'lurking' in the Forum. What a fine place to be! As many before I never did a wooden ship as being more interested in plastic kits, modeltrains and above all cardmodelling. Next to that I'm volunteer/semi-professional modelbuilder at...

Witam wszystkich Aktualny czas temu odkryłem stworzenie jachtu Gretel w skali 1/54 z zestawu Mamoli. Budowa szła szybko bo dalej skłądowano również tylnokołowiec Mississippi - Artesania - Latina, ale powolutku idziemy do przodu, dzisiaj kadłub jest wykonany: Hello everyone Current time ago I...

Well…I am sidetracked again! ROTF I build and collect military aircraft, and the majority of them are in 1/72 scale, so they take up less space. I do have large models as well, however thus far I only had WW2 airplanes and fighter jets in 1/72 scale. Recently I decided to build some WW1...

I am in the process of building one of these chinese wooden kits. An interesting experience to say the least. I don't speak Chinese so it has involved a fair bit of 'build by pictures! Not too painful but still a bit laborious. So far so good, as the pictures that will accompany my efforts will...

I was still determining what new build I wanted to get into, but this fishing Ewer looked interesting. Close to OcCre’s Palamos but allows for sailing or as a motorized build. I am looking at the sailing build. Kit was purchased back in September 022 from Model Expo on sale. When...

Go to P3 for start of pics. General hints for anyone building this kit. 1. There are no sails, there is no sail plan., the kit quality is good. As for historical accuracy and the sales blurb that it reflects Mary Rose Trust studies... well maybe it did 20 years ago but the research has moved a...

Hello everyone, my friends! After completing the la belle, I also completed the Alert. Thanks for the perfect design of the Trident Model. It is my second ship, and I hope to complete the next one more perfectly. Cheers Yuhong

Hallo, ich fange einfach an. Here I'll show you what I'm restoring.Ich habe diesen Hochseeschlepper, die OCEANIC, auf dem Flohmarkt gekauft. Ich fand das Schiff so schön, dass ich beschloss, es zu restaurieren und wieder aufs Wasser zu bringen. Hier sind die ersten Bilder, wie ich sie bekommen habe.

Hello all, After importing my phone pictures to the computer and finding out it is quite convenient I have decided to start this build log about half way through. This is my third build after HMY Britannia 1:64 by Mamoli and Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack 1:24 by Model Shipways. The kit is part...

Something for my sister, who has a home at the Jersey Shore. It should be a fun build and some more planking experience. BMT

I have been waiting for this kit to be available, and I just found it on sale…so I couldn’t resist! So the Brabham will get pushed back, along with my airplane builds. I am still working on my ship, but once this kit arrives, I will be working on both. This is probably my favorite Formula One...

This solid hull kit has been discontinued, replaced with a plank on bulkhead version. I like carving solid hulls and planking over them. This version represents the Harriet Lane as she might have appeared Jan. 1 1863 when she was captured by the Confederates. Her appearance is modeled after she...

I am almost finished with the standing and I intend to in stall some furled sails on yards and fore stays. Where can I find some instructions how and when to apply them . This is the Pegasus 1/64 Amati kit with no sail plans. Any suggestions. Jack D

I while back I discovered the Gambier Bay reading about the Samar battle. More specifically I was researching the USS Johnston DD-557 heroic efforts while a member of Taffy3 comprised of 6 escort aircraft carriers guarding the landings against a large Japanese fleet. The battle was massive in...

Hello all A very attractive model, but a rather difficult kit. First of all, I assembled the jig, but the board was bent. I was able to fix it without any problems by pasting it on a 1cm thick plate. The frame is as easy as sticking two pieces together. There are a few parts that are...

Hello all, Since I finished building "The Confederacy" I started the Benjamin W. Latham, 1902 Mackerel Fishing Schooner. The kit is quite minimalist. There are plans and wood (basswood) as well as some Britanium fittings. The assembly instructions are interesting because on the one hand there...
